Manila (16-19 June)

My first trip to the Philippines. Never had intentions to visit this country for travel just as yet. Had the opportunity to go there cos of work.

Deardear took leave to help me with the packing and getting ready to go to the airport....so touched!

Manila is pretty cosmopolitan and the city center is pretty developed, more than i imagined. The city is huge....

I stayed at Shangrila, Mekati...its in the midst of lots of shopping malls....very nice room and service there!

The traffic there is really bad.... we kept getting stucked in traffic. The cab drivers there are also really skillful drivers...the way they cut lanes.....makes me feel i can never drive there....

Peak hour traffic at Mekati:

I had the opportunity to go to Krispy Kreme for a bite....so excited! cos they dun have an outlet in SG. I love the donuts there....lotsa unique and nice flavours....:)

Since i was going ga-ga over the krispy kreme donuts, i decided to go all the way...to model for them :)

I also had the chance to visit Hard Rock Cafe. Had dinner there and bought some T-shirts there :)

Caught sight of this Tweety Jeepney on the way to the airport....a popular public transport for the locals there.

Another great trip.....the locals are really friendly....and another eye-opener for me in terms of a work stint....looking forward to more trips :)
